Traditionally experimentation has been understood as an activity performed within the laboratory, but in the twenty-first century this view is being challenged. Schwarz uses ecological and environmental case studies to show how scientific experiments can transcend the laboratory. She explores the historical development of the concept of experimentation and argues that it is time for us to rethink the traditional Baconian view. The study offers insights into the epistemological, metaphysical and ethical implications of extending the concept of the experiment, as well as its effect on the relationship between science and society.
